Seven Resources for Lifelong Wellbeing and Retirement Planning
Seven Resources for Lifelong Wellbeing and Retirement Planning: The Golden Age Playbook redefines aging and retirement for the young-old generation. The book emerged as a result of the pioneering Jockey Club Golden Age Journey Project, a comprehensive initiative designed to empower individuals aged 50 to 74 in embracing their golden years with wisdom, vitality, and enthusiasm. Drawing from empirical evidence, the authors developed the Second Half Wellbeing (SHW) Framework, which ingeniously links seven essential resources that pave the way for a fulfilling and purposeful life. This book is a testament to their commitment to inspire and uplift the young-old generation.

Successful Aging
This book brings together state-of-the-art research on successful aging in Asian populations and highlights how the factors that contribute to successful aging differ from those in the West. It examines the differences between the Asian and Western contexts in which the aging process unfolds, including cultural values, lifestyles, physical environments and family structures. In addition, it examines the question of how to add quality to longer years of life. Specifically, it looks at ways to promote health, preserve cognition, maximize functioning with social support and maintain emotional well-being despite inevitable declines and losses. Compared to other parts of the world, Asia will age more quickly as a result of the rapid socioeconomic developments leading to rising longevity and historically low fertility rates in some countries. These demographic forces in vast populations such as China are expected to make Asia the main driver of global aging in the coming decades. As a result, researchers, professionals, policymakers, as well as the commercial sector, in both East and West, are increasingly interested in gaining a deeper understanding of aging in Asia.

This book explores the diversity of methodological approaches to researching ageing, considering which methodological paradigm best captures the phenomenon. Interdisciplinary in scope, it brings together research from scholars from Austria, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Israel, Poland, UK and USA to uncover the conditions under which qualitative and quantitative approaches to research on ageing can best be reconciled and rendered complementary. Presenting international reflection on methods for studying old age from a variety of research backgrounds, Researching Ageing showcases the latest research in the field and will appeal to scholars across the social sciences, including sociology, demography, psychology, economics and geography, with interests in gerontology, ageing and later life.
